Autonomic dysfunction in cancer cachexia coincides with large fiber polyneuropathy.
CONTEXT Cancer cachexia occurs in most patients suffering from solid malignancies. Recent works suggest paraneoplastic mechanisms. Empirical studies also found autonomic dysfunction in cancer patients, but comprehensive evaluation of the peripheral nervous system is lacking. OBJECTIVES To further understand the role of the autonomic and peripheral nervous system in cancer cachexia to guide tr...
متن کاملClinical diagnosis of diabetic polyneuropathy with the diabetic neuropathy symptom and diabetic neuropathy examination scores.
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the discriminative power of the Diabetic Neuropathy Symptom (DNS) and Diabetic Neuropathy Examination (DNE) scores for diagnosing diabetic polyneuropathy (PNP), as well as their relation with cardiovascular autonomic function testing (cAFT) and electro-diagnostic studies (EDS). RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS Three groups (matched for age and sex) were selected: 24 diabetic ...
متن کاملMonotonicity of nerve tests in diabetes: subclinical nerve dysfunction precedes diagnosis of polyneuropathy.
OBJECTIVE The objective of this study was to test whether monotone worsening of nerve function, attributable to diabetes, can be demonstrated before criteria for diabetic sensorimotor polyneuropathy (DSPN) have been met. Which nerve tests are best? RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS From a prevalence cohort of 504 individuals in the Rochester Diabetic Neuropathy study (RDNS), we identified 238 indiv...
متن کاملThermal threshold: research study on small fiber dysfunction in distal diabetic polyneuropathy.
OBJECTIVE The most commonly used technique for diagnosis of diabetic neuropathy (DN) is nervous conduction (NC). Our hypothesis is that the use of the thermal threshold (TT) technique to evaluate small fiber damage, which precedes large fiber damage, could enable earlier diagnosis and diminish false negatives. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS The study involved 70 asymptomatic patients with type 2...
متن کاملCardiovascular Autonomic Dysfunction Predicts Diabetic Foot Ulcers in Patients With Type 2 Diabetes Without Diabetic Polyneuropathy
We investigated the factors that might influence the development of diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs) in type 2 diabetes patients without diabetic polyneuropathy (DPN).From January 2000 to December 2005, a total of 595 patients who had type 2 diabetes without DPN between the ages of 25 and 75 years, and had no prior history of DFUs were consecutively enrolled in the study. A cardiovascular autonomic ...
